Bandai Namco is taking another swing at bringing Digimon to mobile with Digimon Alysion, a digital version of the Digimon Card Game. It's set to launch on Android and iOS as a free-to-play game, although an exact release date has yet to be announced.
The game was officially unveiled at Digimon Con 2025, held on March 19th. At the same event, Bandai Namco shared other exciting updates, including the continuation of Digimon Liberator with a new arc in April 2025. They also released a special video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Digimon anime and announced a new project titled Digimon Adventure: Beyond. Additionally, they're developing a new RPG called Digimon Story: Time Stranger for consoles and PC.
If You Play Digimon Card Game, Alysion Isn’t the Same
Digimon Alysion isn't just a direct port of the physical card game. It introduces 'DigiAly' cards, which are exclusive to this digital version, alongside the original cards. Bandai Namco is also bringing in new Digimon and characters to the mix.
The character lineup featured on the website primarily consists of an all-female cast, which is a unique direction for a digital card game. This has sparked some skepticism among fans, particularly those who were expecting a more faithful adaptation of the physical game.
This isn't Bandai Namco's first foray into Digimon mobile gaming, but their past attempts haven't been particularly successful. They've tried twice before without much luck, leading to some reservations about whether Digimon Alysion will be the hit they're hoping for.
Despite these concerns, I'm still eagerly anticipating the game. A closed beta test is currently in the works, though details remain undisclosed. For more information, you can visit their official website or follow their X account.
